Edge with bing.com in education, liability

Question

Is there any way to configure bing.com browser page to make it useful for a deployment destination in the enterprise. Currently using google because it can be managed. I don't see a gpo to disable settings or disable options for customize homepage, remove the ellipsis, turn off copilot, shopping , videos, remove rewards, mobile junk .... ? There is simply too much Junk on bing.com that's not education friendly and more of a distraction. I would like to use bing for edge and google for chrome but can't at this time. The problem with bing is has no management capabilities or can't be locked down and has all the consumer garbage displayed on it. Need more of a puritan browser for education. Ideally just a search bar. Like a managed google browser. Settings with edge and google are redirected and can be blocked. Bing.com is primitive and offers no value at this point.

Hi @rae,

You might not be able to directly manage bing.com, but you can configure Edge new tab (Microsoft Edge Enterprise new tab page). There you can customize the layout, content and more via Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin account.

For more information of how to customize the Enterprise new tab page, please read Microsoft Edge Enterprise new tab page.

Additionally, there're some useful group policies for you to manage the new tab experience here.
